RTR makes his maiden voyage in the Johnny Jumper. It's adorable to watch him dance his little feet around. Sometimes when he's laying on his back, he'll get to kicking just his legs. It's kinda funny. A friend said he was doing his Riverdance. And it does look a little like that--the legs are the only part of his body that's moving. Other than sort of having problems maintaining his balance in the jumper, RTR seemed to like it the first time around. At least enough for me to make some lunch and sit down and eat it. The next day he wasn't so into it, but maybe because he was tired.
Who knew toys could make a parent nervous? Besides recent toy recalls, it seems like some companies have taken the fun and play out of toys. When CSR was a baby, I bought him one of these "busy boxes"--a toy with little dials, doors and spinner things because he really liked the ones at our baby class. I ended up returning it because all it required was one push of one button to make it light up and play (lame) electronic music. The ones at school were "old school" from years ago. Why did the toy makers change such a simple thing? That's why the Fisher Price Roly Poly Chime Ball is one of my favorite garage sale finds. It was only fifty cents, made in the USA and is a simple and entertaining baby toy. Of course, with its age I should probably be concerned about some weird environmental thing from how old the plastic is. Good, simple toys are another reason to support independent toy stores!
